Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an
outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the video product, be
sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna-discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding
electrode.

For Your Safety


Power Lines: An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or

Power Supply and Battery
* Confirm your battery type before reading the following descriptions.

The following explains proper use of


batteries and how to prolong their
life. Incorrect use of batteries can
cause shorter battery life, as well as
leakage, excessive heat, fire or explosion.
1 Camera uses the Rechargeable
Lithium-ion Battery
* When shipped, the battery is not
fully charged. Always charge the
battery before using it.
* When carrying the battery, install it
in a digital camera or keep it in the
soft case.
Battery Features
The battery gradually loses its
charge even when not used. Use
a battery that has been charged
recently (in the last day or two) to
take pictures.
To maximize the life of the battery,
turn the camera off as quickly as
possible when it is not being used.
The number of available frames
will be lower in cold locations or
at low temperatures. Take along
a spare fully charged battery. You
can also increase the amount of
power produced by putting the
battery in your pocket or another
warm place to heat it and then
loading it into the camera just before you take a picture.

To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the
quick battery charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions
supplied with the charger to make
sure that the charger is used correctly.
Do not use the battery charger to
charge other batteries.
Note that the batteries feel warm
after being charged.
Due to the way the camera is constructed, a small amount of current
is used even when the camera is
turned off. Note in particular that
leaving Ni-MH batteries in the
camera for a long period will overdischarge the batteries and may
render them unusable even after
recharging.
Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge
even when not used, and the time
for which they can be used may be
shortened as a result.
Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate
rapidly if over-discharged (e.g.
by discharging the batteries in a
flashlight). Use the Discharging rechargeable batteries function provided in the camera to discharge
the batteries.

Ni-MH batteries have a limited


service life. If a battery can only
be used for a short time even after
repeated discharge-charge cycles,
it may have reached the end of its
service life.
Disposing of Batteries
When disposing of batteries, do
so in accordance with your local
waste disposal regulations.

Before You Begin

Camera Displays
The following indicators may appear during shooting and playback. The indicators displayed vary with
camera settings.

Introduction
Optical Viewfinder
This display is immune from digital video effects and allows the subject to be viewed directly with no display
lag. Subjects are always in focus, allowing you to check their expression at any time.
c
The viewfinder focus frame indicates the approximate focus point for photographs taken using the optical
viewfinder.
The display in the viewfinder may differ slightly from the final photograph due to parallax.
Frame coverage is approximately 85% (at an aspect ratio of 4 : 3).
Portions of the lens may be visible in the viewfinder at some zoom positions.
The viewfinder incorporates a special display panel that dims if the battery is not inserted. A trickle of current
(too low to have any affect on battery life) keeps the display clear while the battery is inserted.
Icons and Text in the Optical Viewfinder
The display in the viewfinder may be difficult to read in bright sunlight. Normally black, the icons and text in the
viewfinder turn green in dark surroundings or to show that the camera has successfully focused, red to warn
that the camera has failed to focus or that the subject will be under- or over-exposed, and blue when exposure
and/or focus is locked.

miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller


than the standard dimensions of an SD/SDHC/SDXC
card may not eject normally; if the card does not
eject, take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly remove the card.
Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels
can cause camera malfunction.
Movie recording may be interrupted with some types
of SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card. Use a H card
or better when shooting HD or high-speed movies.
The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that

memory.
Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the
camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored.
Do not rename or delete this folder or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename image
files. Always use the camera to delete pictures from
memory cards and internal memory; before editing
or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit

Do not rotate the zoom ring during shooting.
Panoramas are created from multiple frames. The
camera may in some cases record a greater or lesser
angle than selected or be unable to stitch the frames
together perfectly. The last part of the panorama
may not be recorded if shooting ends before the
panorama is complete.
Shooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned
too quickly or too slowly. Panning the camera in a
direction other than that shown cancels shooting.
The desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying
subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects
that are in constant motion, such as waves and waterfalls, or subjects that undergo marked changes in
brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject
is poorly lit.

Caring for the Camera


To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following precautions.

Water and Sand


Exposure to water and sand can also damage the
camera and its internal circuitry and mechanisms.
When using the camera at the beach or seaside,
avoid exposing the camera to water or sand. Do
not place the camera on a wet surface.

Condensation
Sudden increases in temperature, such as occur
when entering a heated building on a cold day,
can cause condensation inside the camera. If this
occurs, turn the camera off and wait an hour before turning it on again. If condensation forms on
the memory card, remove the card and wait for
the condensation to dissipate.
Cleaning
Use a blower to remove dust from the lens and
monitor, then gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
Any remaining stains can be removed by wiping
gently with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaning paper to which a small amount of lens-cleaning fluid
has been applied. Care should be taken to avoid
scratching the lens or monitor. The camera body
can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use
alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Technical Notes

Storage and Use

not store or use the camera in locations that are:
exposed to rain, steam, or smoke
very humid or extremely dusty
exposed to direct sunlight or very high temperatures, such as in a closed vehicle on a sunny day
extremely cold
subject to strong vibration
exposed to strong magnetic fields, such as near
a broadcasting antenna, power line, radar emitter, motor, transformer, or magnet
in contact with volatile chemicals such as pesticides
next to rubber or vinyl products

Memory Card Capacity


The following table shows the recording time or number of pictures available at different image sizes.
All figures are approximate; file size varies with the scene recorded, producing wide variations in the
number of files that can be stored. The number of exposures or length remaining may not diminish at
an even rate. A limited number of test pictures can be taken when no memory card is inserted.

Notices
Specifications subject to change without notice; for the latest information, visit http://www.fujifilm.com/products/
digital_cameras/index.html. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from errors in this manual.
Although the monitor is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology, small bright points and
anomalous colors (particularly in the vicinity of text) may appear. This is normal for this type of monitor and
does not indicate a malfunction; images recorded with the camera are unaffected.
Digital cameras may malfunction when exposed to strong radio interference (e.g., electric fields, static electricity, or line noise).
Due to the type of lens used, some distortion may occur at the periphery of images. This is normal.
